It's got several I/O lines, and IIRC it can even do SPI. I think the bit-banging support for the extra IO lines is only =20 supported by the windows driver. This is unfortunately typical :-( Many so-called standard USB/Serial =20 chips have trouble supporting even the serial function on any OS other =20 than windows...
